Lee answers the door, once more with a broad smile and a bound in his step, and as he sees it's not a short red head ~~sluttishly dressed and with bad makeup~~, his happy expression fades. "Hey, Veronica. What's up?"

Veronica frowns when she notices that Lee's smile faded when he saw her at the door.

"What's up is that I want to know what you meant by that message."

Lee runs a hand through his already rumpled hair (sans at least 5 of his hair care products as he's THAT distracted) and blinks.

"The hallway light is a little bright, do you wanna come inside?" he asks, his voice a bit shakey.

~~((Lee thought Janet was much prettier without all that stuff on her face))~~

~~((So did Janet, actually. Shame she's not the one in control now.))~~

~~((*our makeup is not bad, it is glorious and goddesslike...and very caked on, yes, but so?*))~~

Veronica rolls her eyes, but enters Lee's room.

"Well? Want to tell me what that message meant? Who exactly is," she pauses to remember his exact phrasing, "The Magnificent Flowery-Adjectived One?"

Lee looks a little pink. Being near Veronica is clearning his head a bit. "Yeah - um. I think something's really wrong with me --

--You mean Janet, the Goddess of All Things Beautiful and --"

Lee sits down at once and puts his head between his knees.

In a small voice, "Could you bring me a glass of water, please? I'm sorry--"

Veronica grabs a bottle of water from the mini fridge in Lee's room (ooc: is there a mini-fridge?) and pours it into a plastic cup.

She doesn't know Lee that well, but she can tell he's not acting like himself.

She hands him the cup of water and sits next to him, patting his shoulder gently.

"Lee, what's going on?" she asks in a soft voice.

((~~Your make-up makes you look like a drunken camp-follower, Callisto was just being nice to you on Monday because she needed the slide-projector.~~))

Lee takes the water gratefully and drinks it fast, too fast so he coughs.

"Veronica," he says, eyes a little wild, "I think I've been drugged."

Veronica thumps on Lee's back hard a few times when he coughs.

"Take a deep breath and small sips, okay," she says.

She takes a few deep breaths of her own, because she remembers all too well how she felt when she learned she was drugged.

Once her nerves are calmed, she says, "Who do you think drugged you?"

"I think it was either Janet or Kawalsky -- possibly Cameron since he's been acting weird."

Lee blinks and in this stage of fighting the pheromones (thanks to the natural ones of the girl he happens to like, by the lords!) he remembers flashes of what's happened in the past few days.

"I think it was Janet. But something's wrong with her. I think--", he thinks it but doesn't say it. It's a bit too ridiculous.

"You think what?" she encourages.

It would make sense if it were Janet since she's heard rumors that Lee kissed her. But she can't figure out why Janet would drug Lee just to kiss him. She hadn't heard that Janet was interested in him at all prior to this. In fact, she thought she remembered gossip that Janet was interested in some teacher.

He hates saying this. "I think I was raped," he admits and downs the rest of the water. Then he laughs. "But that's...that's ridiculous. If I'm this drugged out, it could have just been a hallucination or something. Yeah."

He realizes he's just said this to Veronica, who he hardly even knows and turns bright crimson. "Errr, sorry," he says, "I probably shouldn't have..."

Veronica blanches at his words.

"Lee, if you were drugged, it's possible you may have done things that you wouldn't normally do. But we need to figure out who would have drugged you and why."

She grabs her bag and pulls out a tablet.

"Can you remember when you started feeling weird? Or maybe the better question would be, when was the last time you remember being normal?"

Lee thinks back through the haze of the past few days. "I made some toast on Monday night and all these nice girls came by and Janet was with them and then it gets fuzzy (http://www.livejournal.com/users/leeadama/9522.html?thread=293938#t293938). I'm pretty sure she showed up later at my dorm room yesterday night ...with Charlie Kawalsky, I think."

Lee stops and gets up abruptly. "Can I get you a drink, Veronica?," he asks in an odd tone.

Veronica notices the shift in his tone of voice and looks at him carefully.

"Thanks, but I'm fine."

She thinks about his words. "Do you remember who else was with Janet that night? Maybe I could ask some of them if they remember anything weird. And do you remember what happened when she & Charlie stopped by yesterday?"

Lee paces along the room.

"When Janet came over the first time, loads of girls were there. Kara, Callisto, Beka, Cally, Rogue, and Aeryn or Vala...one of those girls. And..um... when they dropped by yesterday, I think she drugged me up real good and...yeah..." Lee grimaces.

"This is kinda depressing and terrible, i'm so sorry that this has to be among your first impressions of me. I'm usally a pretty stable ~~emo~~ guy...."

"Lee, sit down and relax, okay?" She says with a smile and a slight tilt of her head. "We'll figure this out."

She waits for him to sit before continuing.

"I know Vala, we're partners in a class. I'll ask her if she was here and if she remembers anything. And I've met Kara and Cally, so I can ask her, too, okay?"

Veronica is suddenly reminded of her long ago conversation with Cally about Lee's interest in Kara and she realizes she never did find out anything more about that whole mess. She sighs inwardly, knowing this isn't the time to bring it up.

Lee sits gingerly on the futon and has a vague smile on his face. "Thanks for, you know, taking an interest in this. I get the feeling that I'll be drugged out again when you leave, so...thanks."

"Why do you think that?" Veronica is confused by whatever is going on, but she can just tell that Lee is being honest.

"Well, John was here earlier and I felt worlds better and then he left and...the lights got brighter and the headache and ...the other side effects came back."

Veronica tries to piece together exactly what that has to do with her presence.

"So, you think that as long as you're not alone, you're okay?"

She tries desperately to think of any drugs she's heard of that would cause weird side effects like that. It's times like these when she really misses Weevil.

Lee blushes as he pieces another fact into the situation. "But I think it has to do with particular people, not just people in general."
